There are calls for a public investigation into a case where a pregnancy was terminated after inaccurate health advice was given on an unborn child.

Dublin couple Rebecca Price and Patrick Kiely decided to have an abortion, after they were told their baby had a fatal foetal abnormality.

Their case against the National Maternity Hospital, five consultants and a Scottish lab was settled yesterday, after full liability was admitted.

Aontu leader Peadar Tóibin has been working with the couple for two years

This is unbearably sad 💔

@DonnellyStephen I know you’re flat out but please watch this and try to find the time to meet with this couple.
